This article will take a look at some of the most influential thinkers in education and how their work impacted the education system in the UK.

In the hunt for a new job, creating your CV and applying for vacant positions is the easy part. The real challenge comes when you are invited to attend a formal job interview, as this can turn even the most confident of candidates into nervous wrecks.

However, seeing as this is going to be your best chance to sell yourself and stand out from the competition, it is essential that you make the most of the opportunity.

Whether you have just left university or are in the process of switching careers, temporary work through an agency is a great option. It allows you to gain experience and knowledge as well as providing you with the opportunity to earn money.

Whilst there are a number of benefits to working as a temp, the idea of taking on a temporary role can be daunting. So, to help you we have put together our top tips for surviving your first week as a temporary employee.

Your curriculum vitae is one of the first chances that you have to impress a potential employer. It should showcase your experience and qualifications, not to mention all your greatest achievements and attributes.

A good CV is one that is clear and concise. A rambling document that includes a ton of irrelevant information is never going to impress the person reading it.

Education recruitment agencies are vital for schools and colleges to find their talent. Not only this, but they also provide advice and guidance for suitable applicants, nurturing them into true professionals.

When it comes to applying for a job there is a good chance that you will have spent a considerable amount of time and effort to secure yourself an interview.

After putting together your CV, drafting a cover letter and then perhaps sailing through a telephone interview, the last thing you want to do is fall at the last hurdle.

Unfortunately, even the most competent and confident candidates can suffer from a bout of the dreaded nerves. This often turns them into flustering, gibbering wrecks, terrified of saying or doing the wrong thing.

Finding and securing the right job can be difficult. In addition to the stiff competition that accompanies most positions, you will also need to go through a rigorous recruitment process ensuring that you meet the employer’s exacting standards.

If you are new to the recruitment process, or haven’t been through it for a while, then you may find the entire process quite daunting. This is why many job hunters choose to search and apply for jobs through a professional recruitment agency.

Client Testimonial

I have found our working relationship to be extremely good. You have always put quality staff in our direction and strived to solve any staffing problems that I have sent you. Some of which has been at short notice. Michael has been a big success story at the Academy and together with your help and support has proved to be an excellent team member. Before your arrival we did not have any contact with your firm and now we place regular orders for supply teachers which is testament to all your hard work and engaging personality.
